A Word About Drainage.

J. II. Gregory, the well known seeds
man, at Marblchead Mass, in talk Oh
drainage before meeting Of New England
farmers, said that stone drains with which
he has had considerable experienced are a
waste of time and labor, and that no man
can afford to lay the same unless he does
1t to get rid OF the stone. Tile, he affirmed,
has vast capacity for carrying of water,
far greater than is generally supposed.
Mr.. Gregory advised that when laying tile
the trench is to be dug only just wide
enough to admit the tile. He also sug-
gestcd that there be catch pool to receive
the sediment and waste from the drains,
which is half as valuable as manure.
There ought always to be the same ar
rangcmcnt in front Of the drain to stop
the floating particles from drifting into it
and cloGging it up when the water is high,
The drain must be kept open at the end
and the tile kept free throughout in order
10 obtain full benefit from the same.
As regards the cost Of laying tile drains,
Mr.. Grcgory's experience led him to be-
lieve that if one gets down to hard pan
the cost is about the same as ii is for
ditching upland. For ditching low land
meadow landN the cost need not be more
than twenty-five cents per rod; this, in
fact, is standing price:

Cultivation of Corn,

Director lazenby, in n bulletin issued
from the Ohio experiment station, says
that the results Of the station experiments
for the past two years prove beyond a
doubt that the yield of corn is frequently
lessened by the too frequent and improper
use of the cuitivator, but rightly used its
value is almost beyond computation. In
the capacity Of root primer il often
works serious harm, and deep cultivation
of growing corn should only he practiced
within certain limits and performed with
care and judgment 1t is probable that
root pruning is only salutary where there
is an abundance of moisture in the soil
In times Of drought he believes no practice
can work greater injury, and that with
corn, as with many other crops, deep cult
ure should come before planting rather
than after The after cultivation should
be more and more shallow as the corn in
creaSeS III size.
